From the Back Cover:

"As a composer of chamber music Mendelssohn claims greatness almost without qualification. . . . He had a complete mastery of his medium . . . and an intensity of interest in pure music that renders his quartets, in particular, works of integrity in thought and statement." -- Grove's
These masterpieces in the chamber music repertoire are works perennially popular with players and listeners. All of them have been recorded and many appear frequently on chamber music programs. They have been reproduced directly from the famous and scholarly Breitkopf & Härtel series, an eminently readable edition, and contain all of Mendelssohn's chamber music for strings, excluding only those pieces with piano.
The following works are included:
Octet in E-flat Major, Op. 20Quintet No. 1 in A Major, Op. 18Quintet No. 2 in B-flat Major, Op. 87Quartet No. 1 in E-flat Major, Op. 12Quartet No. 2 in A Major, Op. 13
